I also wonder (and sorry if this isn't helpful, please feel free to ignore it!) if there's anything else that could help you with the mornings? For example, I have a TV in my bedroom that I set for a little bit before I need to actually wake up (then an actual alarm clock, in case I don't get up). I find it easier to wake up with the TV, because I wake up slowly (not startled), and can spend 20 or 30 minutes watching whatever is on... and slowly getting my brain in gear.
Just some thoughts... and sorry you're going through this. I'm struggling with feeling depressed lately too, and it's really not fun. Luckily, I mostly work from home, so nobody knows when I'm barely awake and in pajamas at work...

Well the working until midnight thing has only been a recent occurrence since there is an upcoming filing deadline and everyone is rushing to get stuff done ASAP. I think once the hype dies down, I'll have an easier time getting back on schedule.
As for methods to wake up earlier, I can't think of anything really. It's not an issue of not waking up. I already set an alarm and I do wake up, I just can't get my body physically out of the bed. But your TV idea is brilliant. Maybe it can help out someone else
I live with my parents and I try to avoid coinciding with their morning routine schedule because I dislike eating breakfast with them (and any meals for that matter). My dad's always making me eat more than I can. It's like ... I can't eat anymore... so I'd have to get up earlier than them, otherwise I'd be late if I got up after them.
